Blackburn-born, the central defender has been at Rovers since an early age, quickly progressing through the ranks to be on the fringes of the senior squad.

Last summer saw Scott feature regularly for the first team in pre-season before making his senior debut in the 2-2 draw against Burton Albion at Ewood Park back in August.

He followed that up scoring his first goal in the EFL Cup win over Crewe Alexandra three days later, and went on to make four further first team appearances plus three in the Checkatrade Trophy.

In a bid to gain further valuable first team experience, January 2017 saw Scott join League Two side Cambridge United on loan until the end of the season.

He made nine appearances for the U's, scoring one goal. He also earned several man-of-the-match performances as Cambridge just missed out on a place in the end of season play-offs.

With only a couple of cup outings being his only route to the first team during the 2017-18 season, Scott made the switch to sign for Lincoln City on loan on deadline day in January to gain further experience under his belt.
